It's no secret that I am not an avid blogger. Let's be honest - I don't exactly have that kind of time on my hands. I do like to take pictures and I do like to document certain "goings-on" within our lives. Since we are now over 7 months pregnant with our sweet baby girl, Alana, we felt that a much needed getaway was in order. Gregg found a beautiful and relaxing B&B overlooking Lake Travis, Austin. We enjoyed two nights away in a completely relaxing atmosphere, just soaking up God's' creation and enjoying one another's company before becoming a family of 3 very soon!

Tranquility on Lake Travis. We were the only couple there so it was very quiet and peaceful and the owner was extremely nice and helpful!

Wonderful gourmet french breakfast every morning! YUM.

Gregg made me pose for a belly photo-shoot. I haven't taken many belly pics along the way, other than the weekly fruit pics so cue multiple belly pics:

Our trip to Lake Travis would not be complete without dinner at the Oasis.

...where we each took a belly pic:

We also had the blessing of stopping by Rachel & Evan's house to meet 5 day old Trenton Kelly. He is precious - so calm and sweet! Other typical Austin-type adventures included "Hey Cupcake", Wahoos, and Jo's coffee.

All in all, it was such a blessing to have a fun and relaxing weekend away together. It's truly not long now until we meet our daughter and our lives change for the better, forever.

Gregg & Libby

The Kites!

Hello!

We are the Kite family, Gregg and Libby. After one year of marriage, we've seen our share of ups and downs. In that time we've found that one of the most fulfilling things in life, and one of the most blessed by God, is community with friends and family. We hope that you will join us in our journey as we continue to pursue God and his will in our daily lives. This blog is a peek into our lives: who we are and what we do. Beyond that though, it is a creative outlet for us. Writing is one of my (Gregg's) most expressive forms of communication, and I love to share what I write. Get ready for an eclectic mix of vacation pictures, book reviews, art shows (from Libby's incredible painting talent), paleo food full of delicious flavor, spiritual praise, prayers, and ponderings, and more!
